Nestlé uses nine wells to bottle 4.8 million waters each day at a plant south of Evart, the Times reports.

“Having anybody take away some of the very best water that should be going into the creeks and the Muskegon River and eventually Lake Michigan, that’s a big deal,” Jeff Ostahowski, vice president of Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation, told the Times. “That Nestlé does it for free? That’s just crazy.”

Residents and companies in the U.S. do not have to pay for water by volume if they extract it themselves, the Times reports.
